We've been talking about August 14 for a few weeks now at The Automotive Advisor Team regarding dealers' pivot points for inventory aquisition, retail, and disposal. However, global conditions have worsened. In an unprecedented move, the U.S. Federal Reserve (Fed) has reportedly called for an emergency meeting today. This meeting aims to reassess interest rates as global markets experience severe downturns. Moreover, analysts expect a Fed rate cut of 50 to 75. basis points (bps) after the meeting. At the minimum, they should project their rate appetite but more likely, this will be their first-rate drop. If that happens used vehicle valuations will certainly begin increasing faster than they are today and you don't want to be behind or too lean on the lot. How much should you buy now to stock up and how should you pace through this season? That's a difficult question to answer but our tools and consultants can help you answer them with surgical accuracy. That's what our team does all day every day. Reach out for an analysis.

Curious. Remember "Cash for Clunkers?" Don't forget that incentives can move an economy.
